Computer Systems Laboratory
Computer Systems Laboratory
for Raspberry Pi
About the Book
The Raspberry Pi is a low cost hardware platform supported by open source and educational organizations world wide. The hardware is well documented and was an ideal candidate for the first companion laboratory to the "Computer Systems: Incremental Systems Engineering" book. A careful and incremental approach to learning how to bring life to the Raspberry Pi hardware with system software. No experience is necessary beyond simple math and an open mind.
